What doctors completely miss is that your gut contains L. gasseri bacteria that literally manufacture estrogen in your intestines.
During menopause, these "estrogen factory" bacteria die off, leaving your tendons hormonally starved.
Here's what estrogen actually does for tendons:
- Stimulates collagen production (the protein that gives tendons strength)
- Activates tendon repair mechanisms
- Reduces inflammatory damage
- Maintains blood supply to damaged areas
Without estrogen, your tendons literally cannot repair themselves.
This is why L. gasseri is revolutionary - it restores the gut's ability to produce the exact estrogen your tendons desperately need.
